Why not? Most other countries do...

and who knows? Bugs and insects could potentially be pretty tasty...

Land Shrimp

I saw on TV once a segment where a girl made some chocolate-chip cricket cookies...they actually looked pretty good. I'd be willing to give them a try...
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

"Since the creation of the Internet, the Earth's rotation has been fueled, primarily, by the collective spinning of English teachers in their graves."

probably because we all see as having bugs in our houses, restaraunts and stuff just creeps us out and is unsanitary.

I for one am not totally oposed to the idea...but then again, I just think of the wiggliness of the things and I just get creeped out too XD

Re bugs: Ew. The only insects I am OK with are butterflies. And bombardier beetles. And fireflies. And maybe lady bugs. All the rest, krrrrrk!

Re Chibi's drawing: lol. You might want to move the colon there, though. It caused me to do a double take on the picture.

I'll pass.......
Some of my favorite scriptures.

Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.



James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.



Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

I've had the opportunity to eat a mopane worm (see bigsleepj's post), but in the end I couldn't go through with it.

Remove the appendages and I'd try them. I don't want to eat legs. I won't eat shrimp that aren't cleaned, either. There's nothing wrong with it, though. To each his own.

Same goes for goofy laws in the US that says people can't eat horses or dogs.

There are much worse things that people of other countries can eat than bugs.

Seriously, in comparison, I think bugs would be pretty tasty. Seem like they'd have good texture.

BUT NOT ROACHES. Ants or crickets.

I remember reading somewhere that the average person eats ~80 spiders in their sleep over the course of their lifetime.
